Route 120City LimitsZones
We’re working to transform Route 120 into the new RapidRide H Line. When it begins service in 2020, the H Line will come more often and be more reliable (on-time) than Route 120. It will give riders frequent connections to several West Seattle neighborhoods, downtown Seattle along Third Avenue, many other buses, and light rail.
Today, Route 120 is one of our 10 busiest routes
▶
About 13 miles long
▶
80 stops (northbound and southbound combined)
▶
High ridership:
▶
9,200 rides each weekday
▶
5,600 rides on Saturdays
▶
3,900 rides on Sundays
▶
Connects to major regional destinations
Investing in improvements to make getting to the bus easier
We’re asking community members to tell us about improvements we can make to help riders get to the bus more easily and safely.Here are some examples of access-to-transit improvements:
Bike lanesImproved crosswalks and curb ramps
Existing Route 120 will become the future RapidRide H line.

UPGRADING ROUTE 120 TO THE NEW RAPIDRIDE H LINE
What’s already been done?
Over the past several years, the City of Seattle gathered information about existing conditions on Delridge Way SW and considered potential street improvements along the Delridge corridor. They also gathered community input to shape their early design plans.
What’s happening now?
In 2017 and 2018, Metro and the City of Seattle are reaching out to Burien, White Center, and Delridge to help us understand their needs and priorities for the new H Line service. We’re also gathering data about the corridor and working with our partner agencies on project design and opportunities for transit priority projects that would help the H Line move faster.
